My Birthday
This past Monday was my birthday, and for the most part it was just a normal day. In the morning Mom took Sarah, Jonathan, and Me running. We came home and had a wonderful breakfast of eggs and hash browns. I then caught up on my school work, since the previous week I didn't do any. After dinner the Langfords came over for cake and games, they showed up around 6:30 and we started playing catch phrase. After that we had cake and I opened my presents. From my parents I got a chin up bar and dumbbells (that are coming), and from the Langfords I got a Monte Carlo cowboy hat. We then played several rounds of Mafia. It was indeed a wonderful day!!!!

Paging in Olympia
This past week I had the honor of paging, at our State Capitol. I was sponsored by Sen. Don Benton who my sibling and I campaigned for in November. The week was long and hard but definitely worth it. My days started at 5:00 am to get dressed, eat breakfast, read my devotions etc. And then at 7:00 my friend Devin Reilly, who was also paging, picked me up and headed to Olympia. Our work started at 8:00 at one of the four stations assigned to us, where we would deliver messages from one office to another, grab supplies for someone, or just sit and wait for a call. I would say that being on the senate floor was my favorite spot. You were able to watch politics in action, plus you were pretty busy delivering messages to the Senators from people on the outside.
For two hours every day we had page school. It was a program that helped us understand how our government works. During the week they had us do research and write up a bill. I teamed up with Devin, and we did a bill on the luxurious state of our jail system and how the inmates aren't being punished. If you want to hear more about the bill just make a comment. On Friday we had a mock legislature hearing in one of the committee rooms. That was a lot of fun and our bill passed with a vote of 2 nays and 3 ayes.
On Thursday, the Christian Homeschool Network (CHN) had their annual Day at the Capitol. I was able to on the floor while the senate passed the homeschool resolution, and it was great to see over 400 homeschoolers in the gallery's. Here is a video of the Homeschool resolution being passed, and you can see me behind the Senator. I am sitting down in the right corner wearing a Burgundy jacket. You can watch from the beginning, but I don't came in until 00:07:00
It was a tremendous experience and would highly recommend anyone to do it!!!

Islam: A Religion of Peace?
Hey Folks!
Here is an alarming video, courtesy of the sons of Ishmael, that drips with the "peaceful" religion of Islam. We are in Iraq and Afghanistan killing these people so they don't kill us. We need to stay there until the job is entirely done.
Our southern border needs to be secured, and more agents need to be present, authorized to use lethal force at any inclination of harmful behaviour or intentions.
We can find comfort when we hear the wicked rail against us, because we serve the One, True, Living God, who is in control. Let us not fall prey to fleshly fear but rest in His sovereign hand.
I cannot vouch that this is a straight across translation. However, the participation of the audience and the speaker's use of English words coincide with the subtitles. As a result, I am left to guess that what he is saying is the same as the subtitles.
